ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Eloy Jiménez and Zach Remillard had two-run singles in the third inning and the Chicago White Sox beat Los Angeles 9-7 on Thursday, overcoming Shohei Ohtani’s Angels-record 14th homer in June.
The Japanese superstar broke the team mark for home runs in a month in the ninth inning with a two-run shot to left-center off Kendall Graveman’s slider. Ohtani leads the majors with 29 homers and is batting .309.
Mickey Moniak, Mike Moustakis and Hunter Renfroe also homered for Los Angeles. The Angels were 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position. Mike Trout added three hits and made a leaping catch at the center field wall in the fourth inning to rob Andrew Vaughn of a solo shot.
Seby Zavala had his second two-homer game of the season and drove in four runs to help the Chicago White Sox break out of an offensive slump with an 11-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night.
The U.S. women’s national soccer team will be honored with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at The ESPYS on July 12.
Shohei Ohtani already knows he is headed to the All-Star Game in two weeks. It remains unclear though whether he will take part in the Home Run Derby in Seattle on July 10.
The White Sox trailed 4-1 before scoring six runs off Patrick Sandoval (4-7) in the third inning. It is the fourth time this season Chicago has plated at least six in an inning. Yasmani Grandal and Clint Frazier also had RBI hits in the third.
Lance Lynn (5-8) got his first win since May 26. The right-hander allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out seven in six innings.
PIRATES 5, PADRES 4
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Henry Davis capped his first three-hit game with go-ahead single in a three-run seventh inning that rallied Pittsburgh for a three-game sweep that stretched San Diego’s losing streak to five.
The Padres have lost eight of 10, dropping seven games under .500 at 37-44.
Davis, the top pick in the 2021 amateur draft, had two RBIs and raised his average to .351. He is 13 for 37 (.351) since his June 18 recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and has a seven-game hitting streak.
Nick Gonzalez began the comeback from a 4-0 deficit with a sacrifice fly in the fourth, and Davis cut the deficit to 4-2 with an RBI single in the sixth.
Tim Hill (1-2) relieved Joe Musgrove starting the seventh and walked pinch-hitter Rodolfo Castro leading off, and rookie Jared Triolo singled. Jake Suwinski had a run-scoring infield it and Triolo scored on throwing error on the play. Davis put Pittsburgh ahead with his single.
Dauri Moreta (4-2) pitched a hitless inning for the win and David Bednar got four outs for his 16th save.
YANKEES 10, ATHLETICS 4
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Josh Donaldson hit a 472-foot home run in an eight-run sixth inning, Isiah Kiner-Falefa had three RBIs and New York won two of three from major league-worst Oakland.
A day after Domingo Germán pitched the fourth perfect game in franchise history, the Yankees rallied with seven hits in the sixth, overcoming a 3-1 deficit and winning their third straight series. They scored 21 runs in their last two days after totaling 21 in their previous nine.
Clarke Schmidt (3-6) won for the first time since May 19, allowing three runs, five hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings.
Oakland has lost 12 of 14 following a season-best, seven-game winning streak. At 21-62, the A’s are on face to finish 41-121, the most losses since the 1899 Cleveland Spiders went 20-134.
ROYALS 4, GUARDIANS 3, 10 INNINGS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — José Ramirez daringly stole home for the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, but Kansas City rebounded to beat Cleveland on pinch-hitter Freddy Fermin’s two-run double in the bottom half.
Standing on third with two outs and an 0-2 count on Andrés Giménez and left-hander Aroldis Chapman (4-2) working from the stretch, Ramirez took five small steps toward the plate and burst home. He slid headfirst and slapped his right hand on the plate as catcher Salvador Perez gloved the high sinker and lunged forward. Umpire Jeremy Riggs called Ramirez out, but the call was reversed in a video review, giving Cleveland its first steal of home since Leonys Martin on June 15, 2019.
Nicky Lopez singled off Emmanuel Clase (1-5) leading off the bottom half, moving automatic runner Kyle Isbel to third. One out later, Fermin lined a pitch into the left-field corner, easily scoring Isbel and allowing Lopez to score standing up.
TIGERS 8, RANGERS 5
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Spencer Torkelson homered twice and Andy Ibañez had the go-ahead RBI single for Detroit, which had another pitcher get hurt.
Ibañez broke a 3-3 tie as all four batters that faced reliever Joe Barlow (1-1) to start the seventh inning reached base. John King then got out of that jam with a strikeout and a double-play grounder, though the reliever gave up Torkelson’s second homer the next inning.
Ezequiel Durán homered in his third straight game and Leody Taveras also went deep for the Rangers.
Torkelson put Detroit up 3-2 with his one-out solo shot in the fifth that chased Rangers rookie starter Cody Bradford. Torkelson’s three-run shot in the eighth, which made it 8-3, was his 11th homer of the season. It was his first career multihomer game.
Mason Englert (4-2), the fourth of seven Detroit pitchers, allowed a run pitching the sixth.
RAYS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 1
PHOENIX (AP) — Luke Raley homered in the first inning, Wander Franco and Josh Lowe drove in two runs each in a five-run third and Tampa Bay beat Arizona.
Tampa Bay won two of three in a series between the 1998 expansion teams. The Rays lead the major leagues at 56-28, while Arizona tops the NL West at 48-34.
Yonny Chirinos (4-3) allowed one run and seven hits over six-plus innings of relief that followed opener Zack Littell. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit his 12th homer of the season leading off the seventh.
Brandon Pfaadt (0-3) allowed six runs and seven hits in two-plus innings, raising his ERA to 9.82. He was recalled from Triple-A to make the his sixth start.
